1) The love of the gopis for Krsna is full of
transcendental ecstasy. It appears to be a brilliant jewel, and enlightened by
such a transcendental jewel, Radha's body is further
perfumed and decorated with kunkuma.

2) In the morning Her body is bathed in the nectar of compassion, in the
afternoon in the nectar of youth, and in the evening in the nectar of luster
itself. In this way the bathing is performed, and Her
body becomes as brilliant as the cintamani jewel. She
eclipses the goddess of fortune Laksmidevi.

3) Her dress is composed of
various kinds of silken garments, which may be compared to Her
natural shyness. Her beauty is more and more enhanced, being decorated with kunkuma, which is compared to beauty itself, and with
blackish musk, which is compared to conjugal love. Thus Her
body is decorated with different colors. The kunkuma
is red and the musk is black.

4-5) Her
ornaments embody the natural symptoms of ecstasy: trembling, tears, jubilation,
stunning, perspiration, faltering of the voice, bodily redness, madness, and
dullness. In this way the entire body is bedecked with these nine different
jewels. Over and above this, the beauty of Her body is
enhanced by Her transcendental qualities, which hang as a flower garland on Her
body. The ecstasy of love for Krsna is known as dhira and adhira, sober and
restless. Such ecstasy constitutes the covering of Sri Radha's
body, and it is adorned by camphor.

6) Her transcendental anger
toward Krsna is embodied as the arrangement of the
hair on Her head, and the tilaka
of Her great fortune shines on Her beautiful forehead. The earrings of Sri Radha are the holy names of Krsna,
as well as the hearing of His name and fame.

7) Her lips are always
reddish due to the betelnut of ecstati
affection for Krsna. The black ointment around Her eyes is Her tricky behavior with Krsna
brought about by love. Her joking with Krsna and
gentle smiling is the camphor with which She is
perfumed.

8) She sleeps in Her room with the aroma of pride, and when She lies down in
Her bed, the transcendental variety of Her loving ecstasies is like a jeweled
locket in the midst of Her necklace of separation.

9) Her transcendental
breasts are covered by Her sari in the form of
affection and anger toward Krsna. She has a stringed
instrument known as a kacchapi-vina, which is the
fame and fortune that actually dries up the faces and breasts of the other gopis.

10) She always keeps Her hands on the shoulder of Her gopi
friend, who is compared to Her youthful beauty, and although She is highly
qualified with so many spiritual assets, She is nonetheless affected by the
Cupid known as Krsna. Thus She
is defeated.

11) O Sri Radha, this person offers respectful obeisances
unto You, taking a straw in his mouth. This person is
very unhappy. Please bring him to life by sprinkling him with the nectar of
service to You.
